Typhoon Haiyan: How to help survivors

Super Typhoon Haiyan affected 9.5 million people across the Philippines, displaced 600,000, and killed thousands when it hit the country Friday, according to the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

It was one of the most powerful storms ever recorded. Haiyan is estimated to have destroyed 80 percent of structures in its path as it tore into the coastal provinces of Leyte and Samar, and swept away entire seaside villages.

The Red Cross is deploying urgent relief efforts on the islands, but the need is massive.
